Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
“In The Air Tonight”

This must be Lil’ Kim’s attempt at an epic music video that has some sort of plot to it aka a mini-movie. R. Kelly has done it, Puff Daddy has done it, and Michael Jackson has certainly done it. My guess …

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is the second track which appears on Rubber Soul and certainly another one of Lennon’s earlier songs which I would consider to be among his best. I always used to believe, and still believe, that Rubber Soul was certainly the record where The …
